Food meme

It's been a while since I had a proper meme, so I pilfered this from Karla.

1. How do you like your eggs?
In general, I don’t mind eggs, as long as they’re not runny. My favorite is omelette though.

2. How do you take your coffee/tea?
Coffee must have milk, or little bitterness. I can handle black coffee as long as it’s not that thick, sour goop some places serve you (shame on you, Colorline!). When it comes to tea; I don’t like black or green tea. I only drink herbal or infusion tea, and preferably bare.

3. Favorite breakfast food:
Oatmeal porridge or taco leftover salad.

4. Peanut butter:
Now there’s a forbidden item… It’s been at least 5 years since I last had peanut butter. But it’s not THAT yummy, so don’t feel bad for me.

5. What kind of dressing on your salad?
If any, I use sour cream (rømme). But I always add lemon pepper to my salad.

6. Coke or Pepsi?
Neither. I don’t drink soda. (Dude, do I sound like a total health freak or what?) I stopped drinking soda ten years ago, and now it’s just too sweet. I prefer carbonated water with a drop of lemon.

7. You're feeling lazy. What do you make?
If I’m lazy, we eat out! Or, I nag hubby into cooking. But my quick and easy dinners usually involve hot dogs or “fiskegrateng” you put straight in the oven.

8. You're feeling really lazy. What kind of pizza do you order?
The last couple of times our favorite pizza has been not so favority. There’s something funky going on at the pizza place. But pepperoni and lots of cheese is usually a big hit.

9. You feel like cooking. What do you make?
Lately I’ve been experimenting with beans and chickpeas (to Hubby’s disappointment). I like throwing lots of veggies and chicken or pork into my bigass cast iron wok. I also love experimenting with spices. I’m the kind of cook who doesn’t follow recipes, but just throw stuff together.

10. Do any foods bring back good memories?
The smell of Christmas dinner is always nice. Other than that, I can’t say.

11. Do any foods bring back bad memories?
Red grapes make me want to puke sometimes, because that’s what I did one time after eating them as a kid. Sorry about getting too graphic, but they were not as nice when they returned.

12. Do any foods remind you of someone?
My nephew loves the Danish flat chocolate you put as a spread on bread. And Hubby is crazy about tacos.
Gulasch reminds me of my Oma, as she used to make so yummy gulasch when I was a kid.

13. Is there a food you refuse to eat?
Yes. Seafood (fish is OK, but seafood is… nasty). Brunost, leverpostei, caviar, white bread, innards, sheep heads (in certain parts of the country they smoke them and eat them, and the eye in particular is supposed to be a delicacy). Then of course there’s bugs, slugs and animals I’m used to seeing as pets (dogs, guinea pigs). Oh, and brussel sprouts. They’re FOUL! And I can’t stand meat that’s sinewy and fatty and… eek. Pure meat, please.

14. What was your favorite food as a child?
I’ve always loved pot roast, and mums brown gravy.

15. Is there a food that you hated as a child but now like?
If you count coffee, that’s one. Oh, and red meat, I couldn’t stand it as a kid, but now I love it.

16. Is there a food that you liked as a child but now hate?
Cereal. Soda. Brunost (but only as a toddler, apparently).

17. Favorite fruit and vegetable:
Veggies: Cucumber, lima beans, tomatoes, fresh spinach and not to mention, mushrooms.
Fruits: sour fruits and berries. Raspberries is a big favorite, pomegranate, watermelon, pineapple.

18. Favorite junk food:
Boller.
19. Favorite between meal snack:
Boller. Unfortunately. But fruit and nuts is also OK.

20. Do you have any weird food habits?
Probably. I am very picky about my breakfast. Here in Norway it’s usually two or three slices of bread with some ghastly brunost or liverpaté. Norwegian breakfast sucks.

21. You're on a diet. What food(s) do you fill up on?
Cucumber and tomatoes.

22. You're off your diet. Now what would you like?
Chocolate. Which is why dieting fails for me, I guess.

23. How spicy do you order Indian/Thai?
I’m above average Norwegian wimp, but I wouldn’t stand a chance anywhere else.

24. Can I get you a drink?
I can get my own drink, thank you.

25. Red or White Wine?
White. Or rosé.

26. Favorite dessert?
Anything with chocolate and I’m pleased. I don’t think you can get anything yummier than oreo dream cake though.

27. The perfect nightcap?
Not my thing. I rarely drink, at all. I can count on one hand how many drinks I’ve had this year.
